On Tuesday, a small flock of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos spent a noisy morning eating pine cones from the large pine tree at the top of our drive.
This one is actually sitting atop a young native Silver Wattle tree.
Pine trees are introduced pest species here, and we’ll eventually cut all ours down as the native trees we’ve planted get a little bigger. In the mean time, we’ve left the really big ones as they provide food and cover for some of the native birds.
